Stewart was one of the first writers to depict Kelly as a mythical hero and prompter of questions on what it means to be Australian. Ned Kelly deals with the themes of the underdog and his fight against society, the ambiguous rebel as lawless hero and the collision of conformist capitalism against outback survival, and the play’s anti-naturalistic language evokes epic scenes of endurance in vast hostile landscapes.
